FROM CHAPTER 1:
“My kids have jumped off roofs, gotten a chainsaw injury, accidentally lit their bedroom carpet on fire from indoor fireworks, glacier climbed a stratovolcano in the Cascades, hunted their own dinner, and bucked trees (then loaded in the firewood) to stay warm all winter. But they don’t know how to play Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, or Fortnite. And that’s just fine with us.”
How to Raise Analog Kids in a Digital World
…will make you laugh, will make you think, will help you:
This book isn’t a boot camp or some sort of an intervention style treatment program. It’s not about removing technology – It’s about letting a teen HAVE technology, but teaching them the spirit of living in harmony with it.
And this isn’t one of those “manly” books on being old fashioned, or even about instilling time-tested traditional values like manners and sitting up straight. Those things are fine, but this book doesn’t cover that.
This book is a straightforward guide and it solves a problem: That kids need to live in this world, yet be restricted from certain aspects of it. And that everywhere around them will be other kids doing it differently.
